Bring the docs up to what changed: reload, corrections, flags, durability

Browse Source 
An audit after 0.10.1 found the docs behind the code. architecture.md named no reload command
(#120) and still said a changed title was picked up, false since #96 until #141; it now says
what a scan writes again, and what the Directory page's endpoint sends (#142). cli.md lacked
add's --list and --category, and that add, rm and import tell a running daemon to read the
catalogue again. users.md did not mention Currently Listening or its search (#127).
configuration.md says that ipx no longer waits for the disk on each write, on SQLite or Postgres
(#135, #140), and what that can lose.
